General Terms & Conditions
The following terms and conditions apply to our individual customers (non-trade). They do not affect your statutory rights. Trade customers can find their Ts and Cs in our downloads section.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Hand & Eye Studio, all goods are supplied on the following conditions to the exclusion of any terms or conditions stipulated by the buyer and of any representations, warranties or communications not expressly incorporated herein or in the order confirmation.
Orders and Payment
Unless otherwise agreed, quotes are valid for 30 days, after which time prices may vary. Please note that a quote does not guarantee the availability of the goods at the eventual time of the order.
Customers in the UK will be charged UK VAT. Customers outside of the UK will not be charged any UK tax (VAT). This includes EU customers from 1st January 2021 (following the end of the Brexit transition period).
For all overseas customers (including in the EU from 1st January 2021), goods are delivered DAP/DDU ie if there are any customs duties or local taxes to pay these will need to be paid by the customer (for EU customers this will include VAT) as the goods are imported. There may also be a fee charged for customs clearance by the shipping company, this varies from country to country.
Please check your invoice carefully as items will be supplied as per this.
We require full payment to confirm your order and begin production.
You have the right to cancel your order and get a full refund at any point in advance of delivery as long as the order does not contain bespoke items (those made to your requested specifications).
Hand & Eye reserve the right to cancel or refuse to accept an order due to erroneous information or payment not being received.
Hand & Eye reserve the right to cancel an order, or part thereof, if a product becomes unavailable. Hand & Eye will refund the relevant amount but will not be liable for any other costs incurred as a result of the unavailability.
Delivery
Delivery dates given by Hand & Eye Studio are non-binding estimates only, based upon the best available information concerning manufacturers lead times and transportation schedules. Therefore, orders may be shipped on, prior to, or after the estimated date (after notification to the buyer).
Once dispatched, the delivery/courier company may contact the customer regarding delivery. Any actions that need to be taken from this point to receive delivery must be undertaken by the customer and are not the responsibility of Hand & Eye. For example, providing information and/or payment for customs. If items are sent back to us (due to lack of action, the delivery address being wrong, unoccupied etc) then the return costs plus additional cost to re-send items and any other charges due will be payable by the customer. If the customer cancels the order at this point, then the refund will be made minus any additional costs that have occurred.
Hand & Eye strongly advise that no electricians or contractors be booked to install any goods until such a date that the client is in possession of their order. Hand & Eye Studio will not accept responsibility for any charges in the event that a product is delayed.
Special delivery conditions requested by the buyer should be given at the time of order placement, charges may change accordingly.
Customers should inspect deliveries as quickly as possible for any damage or accidental shortages and let us know within 7 days. After 7 days the goods will be deemed to have been accepted as undamaged by the customer.
Returns
Our returns policy is governed by the Consumer Contracts Regulations that came into force on 13 June 2014.
We accept unwanted item returns for a full refund as long as we are notified of the return (by email) within 14 days of delivery. The item(s) must then be returned to us within 14 days of this notification. The cost of the return must be paid by the customer and we must receive the item(s) back in un-installed, un-used and fully re-saleable condition. Once we have received the goods back, Hand & Eye will process the refund within 14 days. Please contact us for info on how to ship our fragile lights to minimise the chance of damage in transit.
Please note that for UK and EU customers we refund outbound shipping costs (but not any special delivery cost requested by the customer) however, for any non-EU customers we will refund the value of the goods but not the shipping (sorry!).
Guarantee
Hand & Eye lights are guaranteed for 2 years from date of delivery. This guarantee does not apply to the ceramic or glass shades once they have been received unbroken by the customer (ie no claim has been made within 7 days of delivery). Hand & Eye will not accept liability for any fault arising from accident, product alteration or product misuse.
Please note that dimming of our lights is possible with compatible third-party components / systems (see individual product specs) but due to variations within these, dimming is not guaranteed by Hand & Eye.
Please note that instructions will be supplied in English, with illustrations.
Claims
Claims for in-transit damage and order shortages must be notified to Hand & Eye Studio within 7 days of delivery. Failure to make such claims within the specified time constitutes acceptance of the merchandise and quality thereof.
Customers must use properly qualified professionals to install Hand & Eye products and it is their responsibility to install these according to local building regulations. Customers outside the UK are responsible for ensuring that the products comply with local regulations.
Hand & Eye will not accept claims for damage resulting from storage by the buyer or for damage and faults resulting from accident, negligence, alteration or misuse after delivery.
Claims for faulty products must be made in writing to Hand & Eye. Proof of purchase will be required.
